Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Brian D'Agnolo draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction - this approach is useful for addressing self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people find internal motivation to make changes, which can be helpful for addictions and ambivalence about recovery.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Brian works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to engage by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging from different locations and on varied schedules. For many clients this makes it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
